Real -flats tangent to quadrics in

Let and denote the dimension and the degree of the Grassmannian , respectively. For each there are (a priori complex) -planes in tangent to general quadratic hypersurfaces in . We show that this class of enumerative problems is fully real, i.e., for there exists a configuration of real quadrics in (affine) real space so that all the mutually tangent -flats are real.

Lifts of - and -morphisms to -morphisms

Let be the Hochschild complex of cochains on and let be the space of multivector fields on . In this paper we prove that given any -structure (i.e. Gerstenhaber algebra up to homotopy structure) on , and any -morphism (i.e. morphism of a commutative, associative algebra up to homotopy) between and , there exists a -morphism between and that restricts to . We also show that any -morphism (i.e. morphism of a Lie algebra up to homotopy), in particular the one constructed by Kontsevich, can be deformed into a -morphism, using Tamarkin's method for any -structure on . We also show that any two of such -morphisms are homotopic.

     

Eigenvalues of the Laplacian acting on -forms and metric conformal deformations

Let be a compact connected orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension and let be the -th positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian acting on differential forms of degree on . We prove that the metric can be conformally deformed to a metric , having the same volume as , with arbitrarily large for all .

Note that for the other values of , that is and , one can deduce from the literature that, 0$">, the -th eigenvalue is uniformly bounded on any conformal class of metrics of fixed volume on .

For , we show that, for any positive integer , there exists a metric conformal to such that, , , that is, the first eigenforms of are all exact forms.

     

Algebraic isomorphisms and -subspace lattices

The class of -lattices was originally defined in the second author's thesis and subsequently by Longstaff, Nation, and Panaia. A subspace lattice on a Banach space which is also a -lattice is called a -subspace lattice, abbreviated JSL. It is demonstrated that every single element of has rank at most one. It is also shown that has the strong finite rank decomposability property. Let and be subspace lattices that are also JSL's on the Banach spaces and , respectively. The two properties just referred to, when combined, show that every algebraic isomorphism between and preserves rank. Finally we prove that every algebraic isomorphism between and is quasi-spatial.

     

On quasi-complete intersections of codimension

In this paper, we prove that if , , is a locally complete intersection of pure codimension and defined scheme-theoretically by three hypersurfaces of degrees , then for using liaison theory and the Arapura vanishing theorem for singular varieties. As a corollary, a smooth threefold is projectively normal if is defined by three quintic hypersurfaces.

     

A problem of Baernstein on the equality of the -harmonic measure of a set and its closure

A. Baernstein II (Comparison of -harmonic measures of subsets of the unit circle, St. Petersburg Math. J. 9 (1998), 543-551, p. 548), posed the following question: If is a union of open arcs on the boundary of the unit disc , then is , where denotes the -harmonic measure? (Strictly speaking he stated this question for the case .) For the positive answer to this question is well known. Recall that for the -harmonic measure, being a nonlinear analogue of the harmonic measure, is not a measure in the usual sense.

The purpose of this note is to answer a more general version of Baernstein's question in the affirmative when . In the proof, using a deep trace result of Jonsson and Wallin, it is first shown that the characteristic function is the restriction to of a Sobolev function from .

For it is no longer true that belongs to the trace class. Nevertheless, we are able to show equality for the case of one arc for all , using a very elementary argument. A similar argument is used to obtain a result for starshaped domains.

Finally we show that in a certain sense the equality holds for almost all relatively open sets.

     

Codes over and and Hermitian lattices over imaginary quadratic fields

We introduce a family of bi-dimensional theta functions which give uniformly explicit formulae for the theta series of hermitian lattices over imaginary quadratic fields constructed from codes over and , and give an interesting geometric characterization of the theta series that arise in terms of the basic strongly modular lattice . We identify some of the hermitian lattices constructed and observe an interesting pair of nonisomorphic 3/2 dimensional codes over that give rise to isomorphic hermitian lattices when constructed at the lowest level 7 but nonisomorphic lattices at higher levels. The results show that the two alphabets and are complementary and raise the natural question as to whether there are other such complementary alphabets for codes.

     

Further reductions of Poincaré-Dulac normal forms in

In this paper, we will consider (germs of) holomorphic mappings of the form , defined in a neighborhood of the origin in . Most of our interest is in those mappings where is a germ tangent to the identity and for , and possess no resonances, for these are the so-called Poincaré-Dulac normal forms of the mappings . We construct formal normal forms for these mappings and discuss a condition which tests for the convergence or divergence of the conjugating maps, giving specific examples.

On the normal bundle of submanifolds of

Let be a submanifold of dimension of the complex projective space . We prove results of the following type.i) If is irregular and , then the normal bundle is indecomposable. ii) If is irregular, and , then is not the direct sum of two vector bundles of rank . iii) If , and is decomposable, then the natural restriction map is an isomorphism (and, in particular, if is embedded Segre in , then is indecomposable). iv) Let and , and assume that is a direct sum of line bundles; if assume furthermore that is simply connected and is not divisible in . Then is a complete intersection. These results follow from Theorem 2.1 below together with Le Potier's vanishing theorem. The last statement also uses a criterion of Faltings for complete intersection. In the case when this fact was proved by M. Schneider in 1990 in a completely different way.

     

Spectra of operators with Bishop's property

Let be a Banach space and let be the class that consists of all operators such that for every , the range of has a finite-codimension when it is closed. For an integer , we define the class as an extension of . We then study spectral properties of such operators, and we extend some known results of multi-cyclic operators with .

     

-algebras and the tail-equivalence relation on Bratteli diagrams

We show that the -algebra associated to the tail-equivalence relation on a Bratteli diagram, according to a procedure recently introduced by the first-named author and A. Lopes, is isomorphic to the -algebra of the diagram. More generally we consider an approximately proper equivalence relation on a compact space for which the quotient maps are local homeomorphisms. We show that the algebra associated to under the above-mentioned procedure is isomorphic to the groupoid -algebra .

     

Borel classes of sets of extreme and exposed points in

It is known that the sets of extreme and exposed points of a convex Borel subset of are Borel. We show that for there exist convex subsets of such that the sets of their extreme and exposed points coincide and are of arbitrarily high Borel class. On the other hand, we show that the sets of extreme and of exposed points of a convex set of additive Borel class are of ambiguous Borel class . For proving the latter-mentioned results we show that the union of the open and the union of the closed segments of are of the additive Borel class if is a convex set of additive Borel class .

Let be a finite system of residue classes which forms an -cover of (i.e., every integer belongs to at least members of ). In this paper we show the following sharp result: For any positive integers and , if there is such that the fractional part of is , then there are at least such subsets of . This extends an earlier result of M. Z. Zhang and an extension by Z. W. Sun. Also, we generalize the above result to -covers of the integral ring of any algebraic number field with a power integral basis.
